This paper reports the design, performance analysis, fabrication and experimental results of a three-phase, three-stack permanent magnet transverse flux motor with soft magnetic composite stator core, which was designed to take advantage of the unique properties of the new material. Parameter computations by finite element analysis of magnetic field and performance prediction by the equivalent electric circuit are discussed. To validate the simulation, a prototype motor has been fabricated and operated with a sensorless brushless DC drive scheme. The experimental results are thoroughly presented and agree with the theoretical calculations very well.
